The course covers a wide range of aspects of IT, from technical computing, which focuses on the technology itself, games and interactive media to information and business-related themes, which focus on information needs and the way in which IT can be used to support them. In addition to core studies in fundamental IT concepts, the course provides you with a choice of majors in your preferred fields of study, as well as the option to take a second major within IT or in another discipline.
